The earth rises from the sea, green and fertile. Baldr and Höðr return from the realm of death. Víðarr and Váli are alive. Móði and Magni inherit Mjölnir. Líf and Lífþrasir survive in Hoddmímis holt and repopulate the world. A new sun shines. In Gimlé, the golden hall, the righteous shall dwell in eternity.
Sér hún upp koma öðru sinni / jörð ór ægi / iðjagræna; / falla forsar, / flýgr örn yfir, / sá er á fjalli / fiska veiðir.
She sees rise up for a second time the earth from the ocean, forever green; waterfalls cascade, an eagle soars above, the one who on the mountain catches fish.
Þá koma þar Baldr ok Höðr frá helvegi ok setjast þeir bæði til ráðs. Móðir ok Magni erfast Mjölni. Líf ok Lífþrasir eru á Hoddmímis holti fólgnir, þeir munu lifa ok byggja heim.
Then Baldr and Höðr shall come from the realm of death and both sit down to deliberate. Móði and Magni inherit Mjölnir. Líf and Lífþrasir are hidden in Hoddmímis holt; they shall live and populate the world.
